I am using Linux (debian) for 6 month. I tried 1.1, 1.2 and now 1.3.
I choose Debian because a friend of mine told me it is the easiest
distribution to upgrade. Since my friend knew debian a little bit than me
it was easier for me to install it. Now, I think this choice is very good.

You might want to look at the seul project (http://www.seul.org/). They
